Jim Johnson cemented as Orioles closer
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(1:40 am ET) Orioles manager Buck Showalter once again backed closer Jim Johnson Monday after he blew his third consecutive save, MLB.com reports.
Johnson can't help but take all the blame for much of Baltimore's current six-game losing streak.

"Well, three of them are my fault. The other guys do their job and I do mine, then we’re not standing here," Johnson said. "I think everybody’s doing a great job. I’m just not pulling my weight. And I’ll figure it out."

Johnson went on to reason that he's leaving the ball up and over the plate.

"That seems to be the common thing lately," Johnson said. "Just not making the adjustment. I’m trying. You know, doing everything. I’m going to work through it. Just like anybody else would. I just need to execute, you know. Balls are coming up, hittable. Just make better pitches."

by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(1:27 am ET) Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper was back in action after missing two games due to a bruised left knee. Harper went hitless in the loss to the Giants. 

The 20-year-old went 0 for 4 with a strikeout in his first game since May 17. He's batting .288 on the year with 11 homers and 22 RBI. He's also struck out 26 times. 


Pablo Sandoval plays through flu bug
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
